Welcome to a Winter Garden Tour...

"Resarö, Sweden — North winds blow hard from the Baltic Sea and buffet against the willow fence around Tyra Lindhe’s kitchen garden. Designer, author, and creator of one of the most appealing Internet garden sites since 2006, this January, Tyra is showing visitors around her greenhouse made from vintage windows rescued from an attic in her seacoast town in Stockholm County. An ardent photographer, Tyra delights visitors with views of her cobbles-and-millstone courtyard glowing in the last rays of afternoon sun. Then as night falls, this creative gardener lights white candles in the windows and instantly adds even more enchantment." read more...

Rubbish or treasure? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  

So very true!

"It was actually rather by chance the whole project started. In 2002 the family found 36 very old windows in an attic, they dated from 1901. My husband thought it would be a great idea to throw the ‘junk’ away but I certainly disagreed with that, I didn’t like that idea at all. Now my resourceful mind started to work intensively. Those window had a history, they were beautiful, single glass windows with a lot of charm and in a fairly good condition too. It didn’t take long until the thought of building greenhouse of them begun to progress"...read more in Toil the Soil

Last day of december and 2010...I just would like to thank all of you wonderful blogging garden-friends for a fantastic year. I also wish you a great, prosperous and Happy New Year!

 This is a favourite in our home, it is a Danish (Scandinavian) Kransekage. This Kransekage is often served during Christmas, New Year and Weddings. It is an almond paste cake - the only ingredients are Almond paste, egg-whites and icing sugar for the decoration.

Happy New Year!  / TYRA

March 17 2009 St Patick's Day!

This is the most green day of the year. If you are interested in some Irish dirt you just have to look at this, Irish Dirt here you can also buy Shamrock seeds. It's amazing!

...

Now my friend it's time for a new piece about my Greenhouse in one of the monthly garden magazines here in Sweden called Allers Trädgård. This time I'm especially anxious to see how it turnes out because I'm the photographer :-) it's not the first time I have had pictures published before but this time it is the whole reportage and that makes it very exciting.

...

Nu mina vänner kommer reportaget i Allers trädgård! Om det är någon som är interesserad av växthuset så kan det väl vara trevligt att se, då får ni kila iväg och köpa Allers Trädgård den 19 mars. De som prenumererar har redan fått den hem i brevlådan. Jag tycker det är extra kul den här gången eftersom att jag har tagit alla foton, det känns jätteroligt. De andra gångerna har jag fått gjort iordning allt och sedan har någon annan kommit och tagit alla bilderna.

...

Have a wonderful Green Day!

The sun came out for a second....

Today, I'm still sad, angry and disapointed and its all that SCOUNDRAL fault that I wrote about yesterday.

But then the 'sun came out' to brighten my grey and miserable November day, a friend came along an told me that there was an article in one of the largest papers in Sweden (DN) about garden bloggers. We have great many garden bloggers here and two of my blogs where mentioned as a blogg well worth a visit, thank you! :-)

Dahlia in the potager, the most positive flower I could find, I love you dear Dahlia.

...

Blogs that was mentioned in a most positive way was:

Hannu på kinnekulle

Lilla B Mias trädgårds blog

Aftonsbladets artikel.

Här är länken till Aftonbladets artikel om Växthuset i Tyras Trädgård.

Sköna, gröna stunder i växthuset.....

Ps. Nu är Navigare necesse est uppdaterad

Aftonbladets Härligt Hemma - Hus och Hem

Sköna, gröna stunder i växthuset.

Ett växthus är inte bara för odling. I det perfekta växhuset kan du också till exempel ta ett glas vin mörka augustikvällar.... så börjar artikeln i Aftonbladets bilaga Härligt Hemma, den kommer med tidningen idag. Det är var kul att läsa! Firas med en härlig skål med hallon från trädgården. Jag undrar hur de skall tilllagas eller om de bara skall ätas som de är.....

Today you can read about me and my greenhouse in one of the big newspapers here in Sweden. It is called Aftonbladet and they have a weekend magazine each Saturday.

The article opens with – A greenhouse is not just for growing. In the perfect greenhouse you can for example enjoy a glass of wine in the dark evenings of August.

Very true indeed. It was really fun to see the garden and the greenhouse in a magazine. To celebrate this I have a bowl with raspberries from the garden, I wonder how I shall prepare them......

Have a nice day

TYRA

Update.
